QUOTE OF THE GAME
"Holding them to five in a quarter and having 20 assists on 28 baskets are things that you really like to see. I thought Alana had a great offensive game for us and did a much better job defensively and Grace in the last two games really got us going in the right direction." - Head coach Brian Giorgis.
